Chapter 1104: Fair Competition
Chapter 1104: Fair Competition
Vincent is a natural master of Occlumency. He does not treat black magic as other wizards do, keeping a distance from it or even regarding it as a scourge.
Even if he is not affected by its negative effects, he will not abuse it casually. Whether it is white magic or black magic, they are not as terrible as the human heart.
Dumbledore said that he would not stand on Fudge's side, but people's minds are unpredictable. For the peace and stability of the wizarding world, maybe these two will stand together.
"Professor, can I have someone do an interview with you?"
Dumbledore showed an embarrassment. "Miss Skeeter? Child, although I will not stand on Cornelius' side, I will not stand against him either."
With Dumbledore's prestige, as long as he is willing to come out and prove Voldemort's return, no matter how capable Fudge is, he will not be able to delay any longer.
Either admit it or go down this path forever.
Vincent did not hide the contempt on his face, "Professor, do you think a little wizard like me is capable of dealing with the Ministry of Magic?"
Dumbledore blinked. "Hasn't your Bat Family already fooled them?"
This old bastard Deng actually wants to sit back and watch the show without helping either side.
Vincent narrowed his eyes and said, "Professor, if Fudge steps down, you will be the new Minister of Magic."
The corner of Dumbledore's mouth twitched violently, showing a rare expression of fear. "It's not the post-war years now. The Ministry of Magic is full of talented people. An old man like me is no longer needed."
Vincent smiled proudly, "Professor, who dares to say you are old? When you were fighting with Tom, you were more flexible than the young people. Just be at ease and be the next Minister of Magic."
Want to watch a show? No way!
Dumbledore's eyes couldn't stop twitching. "My child, I have decided to accept Miss Skeeter's interview."
Vincent nodded meaningfully. "Great, Professor. As long as you stand up and prove that Voldemort's return is not fake, you will definitely gain the support of a lot of wizards!"
Opportunities to make Old Man Deng feel uncomfortable and humiliated are rare, so now that I have encountered one, I must make him suffer until he is satisfied.
Dumbledore was about to say something, but Vincent spoke first, "Professor, let's make a deal. Rita's interview will be live streamed. You just need to look forward to it."
After saying this, he stood up and walked straight out of the headmaster's office without waiting for Dumbledore's response.
The portraits of the former principals suddenly erupted in laughter.
The most exaggerated headmaster, Phineas Black, laughed so hard that his mouth was crooked. "Albus, you have been firmly controlled by this kid again! Hahaha——"
Dumbledore smiled wryly and shook his head.
He knew Fudge's character very well, and he didn't know how effective this interview would be.

6 month 29 day,
The end-of-year banquet for the 1994 Hogwarts school year has arrived.
Like previous years, this year's House Cup was won by Gryffindor House.
The auditorium had already been decorated in a sea of gold and red. Mag, who was sitting at the staff table, secretly wiped her eyes while no one was paying attention.
For four consecutive years, Gryffindor has won the House Cup.
If this trend continues, the situation will definitely be stable in the next three years.
She looked kindly at Vincent sitting at the Gryffindor table, and immediately pursed her lips when she saw Gugu being fed by Gabrielle.
After the banquet, the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were finally going back.
The Triwizard Tournament ended with Harry, who had the highest total score, winning. Although there were occasional conflicts between the three schools throughout the year, they were generally harmonious and friendly.
At the Slytherin table, Krum, whose injuries had healed, put down his knife and fork and walked towards the Gryffindor table next door.
He stopped in front of Vincent and nodded slightly, "Wayne, you are a lucky man."
He looked meaningfully at Hermione who was sitting opposite him, "Anyway, thank you. I know you have been doing your best to protect our four warriors over the past year."
Vincent was a little surprised. "You're welcome. As a student of Hogwarts, I have the obligation to find out those bad guys who want to undermine the safety of the school."
Krum retracted his gaze from Hermione and said, "Hermione - Hermione's eyes light up every time she mentions you. I've only seen that light when she caught the Golden Snitch on the field."
His expression suddenly became serious. “Wayne, I admire her wisdom and respect her choice. If you cherish her, please don’t let the light in her eyes go out.”
Vincent met his eagle-like eyes calmly and extended his hand to him in a friendly manner, "I cherish her very much, far more than you can imagine."
Krum smiled with relief and shook the hand he extended. "I heard that you are a chaser on the school team. If there is a chance, I really want to have a fair game with you."
"Okay." Vincent also shook his hand and responded vigorously, "Why not after the banquet? Just treat it as a digestive exercise after the meal."
Krum grinned. "No problem. How do you plan on making arrangements for the team members?"
Playing a game with world-class Quidditch professionals is something every player dreams of.
Since it is a fair game, Vincent's teammates cannot be the Gryffindor team with a high degree of coordination.
"Let's draw lots to decide."
"it is good!"
After Krum left excitedly, Fleur, who was sitting next to Hermione, immediately started gossiping.
The current boyfriend openly declared war on his love rival, something like this would never happen in Beauxbatons, a school known for its strict school spirit.
James and Alfred next to Vincent also started gossiping.
"Lao Wen, you have to teach this kid a lesson!"
"That's right, being the world's number one seeker is nothing. We must let him know that our Hogwarts students are not to be trifled with!"
It seems that Krum was affected by the pink smoke and lost his mind in the last project, which caused some dissatisfaction, especially among the boys who were already hostile to him.
Vincent looked at Hermione across from him helplessly.
It's just an ordinary game, how did it suddenly escalate into a battle to defend the dignity of two schools?
Looking at the little lions discussing tactics intensely, Vincent suddenly felt that this was actually a good thing.
Once the news of Voldemort's return is confirmed by the Ministry of Magic, the British wizarding world will probably be shrouded in a thick haze, and the time for students to laugh as recklessly as they do now will be short.
Before the banquet was over, Vincent went to Dumbledore and asked for a note.
McGonagall knew about this and surprisingly did not object. At the end of the banquet, she even organized the students to watch the Quidditch game.
It was a rare occasion for Madam Maxime to come and join in the fun, and many of the students from Beauxbatons were members of the school Quidditch team.
Dumbledore is responsible for drawing lots for the players of both teams to ensure fairness, openness and impartiality.
